The TRI is based on the long-term rich data from observational stations in Taiwan. More than 1,500 stations are used including observations during the Ching dynasty, the conventional weather stations, the newly acquired Taiwan Rainfall Data (from 51 different sources, including the major contributors as the Water Resources Agency, Irrigation Associations and Taiwan Power Company), and Central Weather Bureau’s automatic rainfall station data. The TRIs have daily and monthly versions. The longest index starts from 1885 and ends in 2010. Similar to the well-known “All India Monsoon Rainfall Index”, the TRIs represent the variations of Taiwan rainfalls and can be used for many different research purposes. Using the TRI, the long-term rainfall variability in Taiwan is studied. Results show that there were more rain in 1920-1960s, less rain in 1960-1990s, and more rain again
